    I need to keep track of these someplace, so why not here?

    Feel free to throw in your suggestions - anything you spot that doesn't make sense, that needs expanding, etc - because the more feedback I get, the better!

    GENERAL COMMENTS
    - Better explanation of the different factions, of the political structure above ground, and underground etc
    - Explain levels of technology above ground vs. below ground
    - More description needed esp. of the settings
    - More characterization of Lilith - she should be reacting more, thinking about home, needs more of a reason to be engaged with her surroundings etc. More proactive.
    - The two plot threads (Lilith and the corruption/politics of life above ground) need to be meshed better

    PROLOGUE
    - Tighten it, make it snappier

    CHAPTER 3
    - Add in mention of Emma's sister Liz

    CHAPTER 4
    - Lilith should ask about law enforcement or other authority, who can help her. Probably want to go back to theatre area ?
    - Silver should explain police / government / night hunters

    CHAPTER 5
    - Lilith doesn't question why Sla'ik knows she is with a friend - should be more wary?

    CHAPTER 6
    - "Poppet" too reminiscent of Pirates of the Carribean - pulls reader out of the story

    CHAPTER 26
    - Sam should accuse Lilith of being a spy of someone specific, this needs to be clearer
